Throwback Thursday: Boarding School vs. Day School - Which Was Better? Looking back on our school days, the debate between boarding school and day school still sparks lively conversations!

Which did you attend, and what are your favorite memories? Share your thoughts and experiences in the comments below! Did boarding school or day school shape who you are today? Let’s reminisce together! #ThrowbackThursday #TBT #BoardingSchoolVsDaySchool #SchoolDays #educationjourney

I have just learnt of this amazing UK school which was founded over 100 years ago, so ahead of its time! Summerhill School believes lessons should be a child's choice and learning an invitation. They value the importance of play: "At Summerhill, play belongs to the child. We do not dress up learning situations so that the play will be 'productive', we do not look on and evaluate what they might learn from this or that game. Our children just play — and they can do it pretty well all day if they want to". Despite this, most students decide to sit for GCSE exams when they are ready (can be earlier or later than UK norm), demonstrating that children are more in-tune with their development and needs than are often given credit for. This 'Freedom Not Licence/Freedom with Responsibility' approach that the school takes equates to "do as you like - but you must not interfere with somebody else's freedom" and as a result they have common sense guidelines/rules such as 'no playing drums at 4am'. They are a democratic, self-governing community where children have equal vote to adults in the weekly meeting where decisions are made. It has elements of homeschooling, Ross Greene's CPS and alternative schooling philosophies such as Montessori and Steiner. However, never have I seen a school or system take a child's choice/autonomy to this level. We need to take some important lessons from this 100 year old UK example. #AlternativeEducation #EducationReform #HolisticEducation #BehaviourReframe #SelfDetermination #EmotionalDevelopment #ChildDevelopment

What is National School Choice Week? 🧐 Picture this, your child finds a learning environment where they are happy and thriving. But it doesn’t quite look like the traditional school setting. National School Choice Awareness Foundation conducted a survey asking parents about their kids’ educational needs. The survey showed that only 29% say that the same school type works well for all of the children in their home. Education choice brings together different school types: 🎒 Private schools 🏠 Homeschooling 🏘️ Microschools 🏫 Public schools 🍎 Charter Schools One child might benefit from the structure of private or public school. Another might benefit from the flexibility of either homeschooling or a microschool. National School Choice Week is a national movement that partners with organizations like Cardinal to put on events celebrating education choice. We want to connect you with schools like those mentioned above. Plus we’ve included other learning experiences like martial arts, speech therapy, tutoring, and more! Please join us on January 27th, 10 am - 1 pm at the Morgantown School Fair. Register today!  https://lnkd.in/dTSWAVVQ Also, check out the NSCW survey here: https://lnkd.in/gxxKdseX
